As part of my Seven Star Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu Clubs annual visit to Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Scotland UK(http://www.samyeling.org/) last week, I became interested in Buddhism. We gave a Kung Fu display and Lion Dance to all the staff and visitors and we were blessed by Abbot, Ven. Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, after he gave a talk to our group.

I am somewhat confused at all the information I am trying to look through. Is there a particular book (like a Handbook) I could start reading to learn what I should be doing?

I am interested in Tibetan Buddhism (if that is different to any others) and I do plan to attend here (http://www.dechen.org/index.html) once I have a good grounding.

Despite its fancy title, it's not really about advanced mahamudra stuff. It's mostly about basic ideas in Tibetan Buddhism and it contains some meditations which you can try on your own. I found the book very enjoyable, but I don't know what other people think about it.

Hi ,Great to see you had a inspiring time at Samye Ling...you are probably confused enough already with all the advice...but since you went to Samye Ling, you may find a series of video teachings on You Tube by Ken Holmes helpful... ken is a long time student of Akong Rinpoche from Samye Ling, a great teacher himself and has also translated many books from Tibetan to English.He has a You Tube channel called Khenpoken which you can subscribe to and there are some excellent and very easy to understand teachings available there.I would begin with his videos on Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.....Here is video 1.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9P68AU0j3pQBon voyage.
